• Hot New Accessory Alert: Obama Watch

  Look what our photographer Logan Fazio turned up at the MSTRKRFT show this Saturday: this white gentleman with facial hair and an American flag bandanna wearing a BRCKBM ... okay that doesn't work ... Barack Obama watch. Riptide predicts Obama watches will be the hottest hipster accessory since kaffiyahs. Secular holiday gift alert! With an Obama watch, no matter where the hands are, it is always time for change. We cannot find the particular classy version shown here with diamonds, but there i

• Over the Weekend: Aterciopelados and Miami Beach Gay Pride

  While our sister paper celebrated Beerfest north of the county line, we kept a low profile this weekend. Well, maybe it's the city that's keeping a low profile. We definitely think things have slowed down since Winter Music Conference, and with the low season only a month away, we don't see things picking up until the fall.But before the summer heat rolls in, here is what you missed over the weekend:Aterciopelados and Curumin at the TransAtlantic FestivalBen ThackerColombian rockers Aterciopela

I went to her sold-out show at Revolution Wednesday night with an open mind. I swear. I like "Hot N Cold." Despite the song's frustratingly sexist lyric criticizing a dude for changing his mind like a "girl changes clothes," I can dig it. It's catchy. I walked i

• Sunburns and Vibrators: Highlights From The Aqua Girl Pool Party

  There's a tall tale about female lobsters -- one that's supposed to serve as a grim analogy for womankind. As it goes, two things happen when you're boiling a pot of live lobsters. (1) If the pot is full of males, they will scramble to form a ladder with their bodies and help one another escape. (2) If the pot is full of females, they'll grab and claw, and hold one another down until they drown. It's an urban legend, one of those pop-feminist "facts" that has spread across the internet like a ca

• Over the Weekend: Nine Inch Nails, Exxxotica and Aqua Girl

  If you stayed home this weekend, it was either because the unbearable heat kept you indoors or because you actually tried to behave yourself on Mother's Day. Skin and sin was aplenty this weekend (er, well more than normal), so here is what you missed:Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction at Cruzan AmphitheatreIan WitlenSouth Florida was the kick-off point for Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction joint tour.

• Over the Weekend: Urban Beach Week, Best of the Best and Lanzallamas Monofonica

  Hopefully, the extra day off gave everyone enough time to recover from the mayhem the Memorial Day weekend brings to Miami every year. Not even the rain seemed to dampen the spirits of people looking to relax. There were plenty of things to do this weekend, so if the weather did keep you home, here is what you missed:Urban Beach Week 2009Logan FazioEvery year, the Memorial Day Weekend brings Urban Beach Week to South Beach.

• Over the Weekend: Future Classic Festival, Churchill's Pub and Bruce Springsteen

  The weekend was definitely a busy one. And while the skies poured over South Florida Saturday and Sunday, things didn't seem to slow down. But in case the deluge kept you away from the action, here is what you missed over the weekend:Glass Candy at the VagabondPhoto by Michael Maryanoff​It seems like all of Miami's hispterdom turned out for Glass Candy's show at the Vagabond Friday night.

• Wish You Were There: Future Classic Festival on Twitter, YouTube

  photo by Logan Fazio​Ah, Twitter. How better to vicariously live through events you're not attending, by reading the 140-character summaries posted by celebrities and people who aren't really your friends? So if you missed the Future Classic Festival last Saturday -- dammit, it was a trending topic locally, according to Happn.in -- you can try to imagine it all, thanks to the magic of tweets. Um, no, really, we love Twitter, and blogging about it seems like an excellent way to sum up the curre

• Pamela Anderson Revives Iconic Baywatch Suit for Richie Rich Fashion Show

  Logan FazioClick for larger image: Pamela Anderson is feeling a bit nostalgic. ​It's been 12 years since Pamela Anderson left Baywatch. She's gone through multiple other shows, a few marriages and divorces, and changed her breast size more often than her hairdo. But for a 42-year-old, she can still pull off the iconic high-cut red one-piece that caused countless boners in the '90s.Anderson busted out the suit for the finale of friend and former Heatherette co-designer Richie Rich's debut showi

  Photo by Logan FazioRichie Rich at Funkshion Fashion Week Miami Beach.​It's nice to finally see Wynwood waking up in the nightlife department. With a plethora of commercial space available for rent, we can't understand why businesses don't see the area's potential as a nightlife/entertainment district. Imagine having gallery walk not once a month but every night of the week, and then going to your favorite watering hole for late-night debauchery. True, the recession has put a snag on any comme

• Lady Gaga Adds Second Miami Show, Broward Native Jason DeRulo as Tour Opener

  Photo by Logan FazioLady Gaga last performed locally at Revolution.​Lady Gaga's New Year's Eve show at the Knight Center is going to be one hell of a 2009 send-off. So, while tickets are available, all the good ones are long gone (what remains, basically is a bunch of side-view seats). South Florida is full of the pop diva's biggest supporters -- gays, glamazons, club kids, and so forth -- and she clearly wants to spread the love back. So she's added a second show, on Saturday, June 2, at the
